American Bitcoin Experiences Price Drop Ahead of Reverse Stock Split
American Bitcoin Corp., co-founded by Eric Trump, reaches a new low price ahead of a 1-for-15 reverse stock split planned for July 2. The move aims to boost the stock price to meet Nasdaq listing requirements, as reported by Decrypt.
On July 1, 2026, American Bitcoin Corp. announced a significant drop in its stock price, marking a fresh low at $0.6122 per share. This decline comes just a day before the company executes a 1-for-15 reverse stock split to enhance its share price, ensuring compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price rule.
The proposed stock consolidation indicates a shift in the company's strategy, as it endeavors to lift its share price above Nasdaq's listing threshold. Following the split, shares will trade under the same ticker, ABTC, but will have a new CUSIP number, reflecting the changes in share structure. The adjustment will reduce the total outstanding shares from approximately 1.09 billion to about 73 million.
American Bitcoin Corp. has witnessed a 41% decrease in share value over the past month and a staggering 86% decline over the last year. The reverse stock split was backed by shareholders at the annual meeting held on June 22. Such stock consolidation is frequently employed by companies whose share prices have plummeted, although it may raise concerns among investors regarding the company's financial stability since it does not alter the market value itself.
American Bitcoin operates large-scale Bitcoin mining and accumulation, co-founded by Eric Trump and primarily owned by Hut 8 Corp. The company went public in September through a merger, aiming to solidify its standing in the competitive Bitcoin mining sector. With the reverse split taking effect at 5 p.m. ET on July 2, market activity will reflect the adjusted stock price beginning July 6.
